Description
About This Product
The PRIMO GEN24 5.0 SC is a 5 kW single-phase solar inverter from the Fronius Primo GEN24 SC family. It is designed for residential photovoltaic systems and provides two independent MPP trackers for connecting solar arrays with different orientations or operating conditions. The inverter has a maximum PV input power of 5.17 kW, an 80 V feed-in start voltage and an MPP operating range from 190 V to 480 V. Fronius also integrates its monitoring and communications platform into the GEN24 architecture, allowing system performance and operating data to be accessed through compatible Fronius monitoring services.

Who This Product Suits
The PRIMO GEN24 5.0 SC suits residential Fronius installations requiring a 5 kW single-phase inverter. Its two MPP trackers make it useful where the PV array is split across two roof orientations or electrically separate strings. It is particularly appropriate for installers wanting the GEN24 platform, integrated communications and Fronius system monitoring in a single-phase installation. Final string sizing and electrical design should be checked against the inverter’s voltage, current and PV input limits.
Specifications Explained
The PRIMO GEN24 5.0 SC provides 5 kW nominal AC output and supports up to 5.17 kW of PV input power. It uses two MPP trackers, starts feeding into the grid from 80 V DC and has a nominal DC input voltage of 385 V, with an MPP range of 190-480 V. The GEN24 platform includes WLAN and Ethernet communications together with integrated data logging and web-server functionality for commissioning, monitoring and system integration. These specifications make it a purpose-built single-phase residential inverter rather than a three-phase commercial unit.
Summary
The PRIMO GEN24 5.0 SC is a 5 kW single-phase Fronius inverter for residential solar installations. It combines dual MPPT operation, a 190-480 V MPP range and integrated GEN24 communications in one unit. For installers already working with the Fronius ecosystem, it provides a straightforward option for appropriately sized single-phase PV systems while retaining the monitoring and system-integration features associated with the GEN24 platform.
